Checkpoints are respawn points. Players who die appear back at the last checkpoint they reached. Players can also leave the game and resume at the last checkpoint at a later date. In effect they are a 'save game' feature. The following Checkpoints appear in Cemetery of the Forsaken

Just beyond the gates of the Cemetery of the Forsaken - Passed on 'A Shattered Crown' quest.

Waypoints are special plates on the ground that form a network of jump points allowing players to instantly teleport between them. The nearest waypoint for Cemetery of the Forsaken appears just inside the entrance from The Weeping Hollow.
